You move.
You can sue for unlivable, but guess what that gets you? The right to move out.
So, no matter how you want to look at it you are moving out.
Why the hell would you want to fight to stay there?

I would move, your landlord obviously hasn't fulfilled his part of the deal, rats, holes, broken heaters, leaks! Think of your children and the unborn baby, move to somewhere more suitable. If you lived in the UK he (or she) would have to make the accommodation liveable but I do not know the rules where you live. Good luck.

I don't understand your question? Are you asking what to do so you might keep the apartment with the rat holes, the refrigerator that does not work, the heaters that do not work as well as water leaking on electrical equipment that might start an electrical fire.
A law suit for what???
This should be a no brainier, your children deserve better.
You should move immediately if not sooner,if not for your sake,but the sake of your children.
Change is difficult, but in this case necessary.
I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.
"FIGHT ON"

Find a better apartment for your family. Agree with the landlord to move early if he or she will return your security deposit and help with the moving expenses. You can come out a real winner in this situation. Make sure the new place has heat, a working fridge, no pests and other families with kids.
